The enemy, about four • thousandH in number, were posted about ten miles from hence, at Borica ; and they occupied Brilos, - about three miles from hence, with their advanced Posts. As the possession •of this, last village was important to our future operations, I determined to occupy it; and as soon as the British -Infan try arrived upon the ground, I diretied that it might be occupied ,by a detachment, consisting'of four companies of riflemen of the 60th and 95th • regiments. The enemy, consisting of a, small pi , quer of infantry and a few cavalry, made a trifling resistance and retired.; but they were followed , by a detachment of our riflemen to the distance of three' miles from Brilos. The riflemen were then attacked by a superior body of the enemy, who attempted to cut them off from the main body of the detachment to which they belong ed, which had now advanced to their Support ; larger - bodies of the enemy appeared on both the flanks of the detachment ; and it was with diffi culty that Major-Genet-al Spencer, who had gone out to CEbidos when he had heard that the rifle men had advanced in pursuit of the enemy,, was 'enabled to effect their retreat to that Village. • They have since remained in possession of it, and the enemy tetired entirely from the neighl.iourboocl. In this)ittle alt . :lir of the advanced posts, which was occasioned solely by the eagerness of the troops in 'pursuit of the enemy, I am concerned to add, that Lieutenant Bunbury, of the ed Battalion of the 95th, was killed, and the Honourable Captain Pa kenham wounded, but slightly ; and we have lost some men, of whose number I have not received the. returns . .

Head Quarters, at Villa Verde, .• MY LORD, Aug. 17, 1808, ' The French General Laborde having continued in his,, position at Roleia since my ,arrival et Caldas on the 15th instant, I determined to attack him in it this morning. Roleia is situated on an eminence, having a plain in its front, at the end of a valley, which commences at Caldas, and is closed to the southward by mountains, which ' join the hills, forming the valley on , the left, looking from Caldas. In the centre of the val ley, and about eight miles from Roleia, is the town •and old Moorish Fort of CF.:bidos, from whence the'enemy's piquets had been driven on the 15th, i n ict from that time he had posts in the Lilly on both sides of the valley, as well as in the plain in front of hi s army, which was posted on the heights in front of Roleia, its right resting upon the bills, its.left ' , u p o n an eminence on which was a windmill, and the whole covering 'four or five passes into the mountains in his rear. I have,reasen to believe that his force consisted of at least six thousand men, of which about five hundred were cavalry, - with five pieces of can non; and there was some reason to believe that General Loison, who was at Rio Major yesterday, would join General Laborde by his right in the course of the night. The plan , of attack was fotined accordingly, and the army having broken up from Caldas this morning, was formed into thtiee columns ; the right, consisting of twehe hundred Portuguese infantry and fifty Portuguese ' cavalry, destined to turn the enemy's left, and penetrate into the mountains in his rear; the left, 1 consisting of Major-General Ferguson's and Bri• gadier•General Bowe's Brigades of infantry, three Major-General Hill and Brigadier-General Night. inga:e advanced Upon the enemy's position, and, at the same moment, Brigadier-General Nine's men were in the hills on his right ; the Portuv, - oe infantry in a village.' upon his left ; and kijor- General Fergukn's column was descending. from the heights into the plain. From this situation the enemy retired by the passes into the mountains will the utmost regularity and the greatest celerity ; and notwithstanding the rapid advance .of the British infantry, the want of a sufficient body of "cavAry was the cause of his suffering but little loss in the plain. It was then necessary to make a disposition to tack . the formidable position which he had taken .up. .trigaclier-General Fane's riflemen were 'al itiuilteMountains on his right, and no, timy was frisratilleackitg the different passes, as well to supi3oililTiii r 'riflemen as to defeat the 'enemy com pletely. • • The Portuguese infantry were ordered to move up a Pass 'on the right of the whole; -the light coot panie3 of Major-General Hill's. Brigade and the -bill regiment moved up a Pass next on the right ; and the 29th regiment, supported by the 9th regiment, under Brigadier General Nightingale, a third Pass ; and the 45th and 82d regiments, ,Passes .on the left. These Passes were all difficnlt of a , :coN, • • :. and some p of 'Ahem were well defended by the enemy, particularly that which was attacked by the, 29th and gth regiments. These regiments at tacked with the greatest impetuosity, and reached the enemy before those whose • attacks were to he made on their flanks : the defence . of the enemy was desperate, and it was in this attack principally that we sustaihed the los.s which we have to lament, particularly of that gallant OfficPr the Honourable LieUtenant-Colonel Lake, who distinguished hit-az:elf upon this occasion.. The enemy as, however, driven froni all the positions he had taken in the passes of the moun tainS, and our troops were advanced in the plains i'ti their tops, For a considerable length of time the • 29th and 91 , 11 i Reorients alone were advanced to this "1 - Y3 1- • d' . po'i'nt, Wit 1. , 9ga ter-Gen. Fane's riflemen at -a dis taUeloVtGleft, and they were afterwards supportcd • by the .sth regiment, and by the light cempanies of Major-General Hill's brigade, which bad come up on their right ; and by the other troops ordered to ascend the mountains, who came up by degrees. The enemy here made three most gallant attoeks upon - the 29th and 9th regithents, supported, as I have abbve stated, with a view to cover the retreat of his4efeated army ; in all of which lie was, how ever, r'elitilSed' but he succeeded in eVeaing his •. , re treat in godd larder, owing, principally to my want of cavalry, and secondly, to the difficulty of bring . . Ing hp the passes of the mountains with celerity, a 1
